AGL Energy dumps demerger plan after 'opposition' from billionaire investor

The statement said the Board “continues to believe that the Demerger Proposal offers the best way forward for AGL Energy and its shareholders” but no longer thinks the path is available.

AGL Energy announced it would withdraw its demerger proposal in a statement on Monday. Picture: NCA NewsWire /Brendan Beckett “In these circumstances, the AGL Energy Board considers that it is in the best interests of AGL Energy shareholders to withdraw the Demerger Proposal.”

calibandog That would be at least one in four of all investors. That’s a very large number of shareholders.

Renewables could not run his computer farms for his business. How many private jets does this person have. We now see energy terror in the boardrooms. The person should look at his own company. Products that are shite and do not work properly.

Assuming Mike Cannon-Brookes will pay my power bill when it inevitably goes up?

Great news.

As long as he isn’t putting his hand up for govt subsidies - he has more than enough money to pay for whatever his heart desires 👍

Here we go again. Same people ripped down Nikola Tesla's free power tower connected to the aether that would've supplied the world with free energy so they could eventually use it against us through intimidation

Well done Mike. Fighting the fossils that fuel SKY's audience

It’s a cult.

Yeah so in the real world, we will start to look at NUCLEAR, happy days 😁👍

That's the end for Coal Power in Australia. With absolutely nobody backing it, the race is on to get out as quickly as possible.

Welcome to the 21st century, where everything is only ever about what a “small number” want!

How did he charge his iPhone in order to send the tweet? Hypocrite

The major parties also need to step up. Two billionaires have acted more decisively on decarbonisation than Labor & Liberal in 20 yrs. Coal is the past not the future.

‘Small number of voters’ huh? Yeah, sure. Companies often change their entire strategy based on a minority vote 🙄

👍 👏 mcannonbrookes ROCKS (non fossil of course)

He will switch off Gas to force transition. That’s Blackmail!
